There’s a new love in my life

This month has been amazing! Three Girls and a Leading Man has been released and the free promo for Baby went better than I could have imagined. My books are doing really well and I’m getting some good reviews. There is nothing better than knowing people are digging your books!

I wanted to do something fun to celebrate, so I went out on Monday and picked out a brand new iPhone 4S. The phone came in today and I am already in love with it. I’m not the most techy person, and having a smart phone was never super important to me. Clearly I just didn’t know what I was missing! Did you know you could put all your music on an iPhone and it would play it just like an iPod?? You probably did, as most people now live in the 21st century, but I didn’t! It’s so cool! I am already having lots of fun having Siri do stuff for me and I’ve been downloading lots of apps. The camera has more megapixels than my real camera and Lucy has posed for some very lovely shots.

Hopefully I will manage to exert some self control tomorrow, so I don’t end up spending all of my time fooling around with the phone. I am in the outlining process for my next book. It feels very, very strange not to be writing about Jen, Annie, and Ginny. Hopefully once I get writing the new character will feel just as familiar to me. I’m really excited about the plot for this book and I can’t wait to get going on it.

I’m going to set myself a word count goal of 8,000 words by Sunday night. It looks like we’re actually going to get some winter weather here in Michigan, so I plan to shut myself up inside and write, write, write. Please bug me on twitter and fb to keep me honest:)

Happy Friday everyone!

An update and some news

Three Girls and a Baby has been free for the last three days. It’s been an amazing experience. Once the dust settles and I get some final numbers, I’ll post about the experience. So much fun!

In addition to compulsively checking my free downloads, I’ve been working very hard to get the final book out. Today I was finally able to submit the files to Amazon and Barnes and Noble. If all goes well, it should be on sale tomorrow! My fingers are crossed that the publication process goes smoothly and the book shows up ASAP. I’ll let you know when it’s live!

That’s all I have for tonight. It was an amazing, crazy, kind of exhausting week and I could use some sleep. I’m looking forward to Maddie’s baby shower on Saturday and the chance to rest on Sunday. Hope everyone is settling into the new year!

 

…Oh, I almost forgot! Have you guys seen the cover yet? I think it’s totally gorgeous!

 

Night!

Happy 2012

I haven’t been around much lately, but I have a good excuse. I’ve been working my booty off trying to get Three Girls and a Leading Man finished.

When I first started this writing journey, I set a goal for myself to finish the series before Christmas. Well, I didn’t quite make it, but I came darn close. Three weeks off, to be exact. The final book should be ready for release next week. I’m not 100% sure yet, but I’m thinking it should be available on Thursday, January 12th.

I have a few fun events planned to celebrate the wrapping up of the trilogy. First of all, I plan to make Three Girls and a Baby available free for Kindle next week. If you haven’t read the first book in the series yet, or don’t have the ebook version, here’s your chance to pick it up for free! Later in the winter I’m planning a blog tour which might just include a few giveaways.

The final fun event is ready to share right now and I’m so, so excited about it! A few months ago I found out about a special sale Scarlett Rugers was running on her cover art. Scarlett is an amazing artist (go check out her stuff here) so I snapped up a few spots in her sale right away. I love the current covers for the Three Girls series, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve been looking for something a little different for a while now. I feel that when the books are in print, they skew a little young, so I’ve been looking for something a little more sophisticated. I think Scarlett did a lovely job and I couldn’t be happier.

So, without further ado, here are the new book covers for Three Girls and a Baby and Three Girls and a Wedding. Enjoy!

 

And just ’cause I think they’re pretty, here are the full paperback versions.

 

What do you think??
